Costly Dinners.

The fees demanded by eminent New
York lawyers are seldom small. A
prominent lawyer relates that in mat
ter of litigation he recently called in the
services of distinguished Wall street
attorney, whose career in pubic life has
given him great prominence. The affair
terminated in a settlement outside of the
court pending which some dinners were
given, at which the principals and their
attorneys came together. When the
banker asked for his bill from the attorney
the figures were $4,000. 1t struck the
man of money that this was tritlc high,
and he asked for an itcmized account.
The itemized bill read as follows:
To attendance on five dinners at Del
monico's, 5000 each. ........... l0,C0l

Useful Hints,

Rubbing with celery is said to remove
the smell of onions from the hand.
IIghly-polished brass may be kept ab-
solutely bright and free from tarnish by
thinly coating the articles with varnish
of bleached shellac and alcohol.
If bedstead creaks at each movement
of the sleeper, remove the Stats and wrap
the ends of each in old newspapers.
This will prove complete silencer.
Never wash jelly bag with soap, or
straincr cloth, a pudding bag OF dump.
ling nets. The next thing that is put
into or passed through these things will
surely taste of the fiavoring of alkali.
TO tell cake in the oven, draw it gent.
ly forward and put the ear close to the
loaf; if it is not done there will be
little sputtering sound; when it is thor
oughly baked there will be no sound.
To brighten a Brussels, or any carpet
that is faded, sponge in mixture of one
part ox-gall to two parts water. This is
excellent. A lady recently bought o
much faded carpet (Brussels) at second
hand store, and restored it to almost its
original beauty in this way.
To remove "red mites" from canarles,
hang piece of new white flannel in the
cage at night, next the perch, so that it
shades the bird from the light. In the
morning you will find a few mites on the
flannel; wash, or put in a new piece the
following night, and continue doing SO
until they are all removed. 1t is also
well to scald the cage. The perches
should be of red cedar wood.
Prof. Brinton says that the very best
thing for a sprain is to put the limb into
vessel of very hot water Immediately,
then ad ding boiling water as it can be
borne. Keep the part immersed for
twenty minutes, or until the pain sub.
sides; then apply tight bandage and
order rest. Sometimes the joint can be
used in twelve hours. If necessary,
use silicate of sodium dressing.
Sonnet mes tho lampwick will obsti-
nately refuse to be turned up in an or
de:ly manner. It will seem firmly wedged
at one side, while the other will run up
in a point, causing WEAKNESS and .eXa-
ton of spirit. To overcome this de-
pravity take a new wick, draw out SIN
gle threat near the selvage, and the wick
will be found quite tractable when intro.
duced into the burner. The cogs will
take it up p operly, and it will appear in
good form and give an even flame when

A Magnetic Air Current.

About three years ago the. Texas and
Pacific Railway Company undertook 10
sink an artesian we'll few miles east OF
Sierra Blanco, which is little hamlet
ninety five miles east of FL Paso. The
workmen put the pipe down about 500
feet, when suddenly an underground
cavern was struck, the drill dropped
about six feet, and current of air rushed
up the pipe. Drilling ceased and the
we'll was abandoned, the 600 feet of pipe
remaining in the ground and giving a
connection between the surface OF the
earth and the subterranean cavity a
quarter of mile beneath.
The phenomenon did not at that time
attract the attention of any one suttl-
ciently interested to investigate. Re-
Gently, however, Superintendent Judy's
attention was called to it, and his per
sonal examination and inquiries have de-
veloped peculiar facts and testimony
about the wonderful we'll. Governor
Brown stopped to see it on his wav here.
Not many people live near the we'll, but
those who do reside near the neighbor-
hood of it are thoroughly acquainted
with it. Ever since it was abandoned,
three years ago, the peorle near by have
been in the habit of going and sitting
about the we'll in summer to enjoy the
cool and invigorating air that rushes up
the pipe One of the strangest things IS
the fact that the current of air ebbs and
flows like the ocean tides. From 1915
A. N. to 1915 P. NJ. current OF air
rushes out of the pipe with sound that
resembles the noise made by locomo-
tive blowing off steam. so loud that it
can be heard forty or fifty yards. At TO-:
Is p. NJ. the overflow of air ceases and n
strong suction sets in, which lasts for the
next twenty-four hours, this ebb and flow
continuing day after day. 1t has been OBJ
served By horsemen that whenever they
get in the neighborhood of the vel!
strong magnetic forces are felt and
sparks are given off if the horses name
is touched.
Recently aman from Sierra Blanco was
sitting close to the well and on taking
out his rockct-knife found nail which
he had in his pocket clinging to the
knife. He held the knife in the current
of air, and found the magnetic property
was greatly increased.
Several weeks ago Superintendent
Judy held his pocket-knife in the current
of mir for four minntes, and the knife is
still strongly magnetized from the effect.
The outflowing current of air is believed
to possess remarkable curative proper
ties. It's efficacy is to be tested by ex-
periments upon cas's of paralysis and
other diseases. The people who live
near the wonderful well call it the 'foun-
tain of youth. Galce: ton Neaos.

The Sacred BO Tree Shattered.

A letter from Ceylon says that the
sacred Bo tree of Anuradhapura, the
most ancient and authentic relic of Gau-
tama, and probably the most aged tree
in the world, has been shattered in a
storm. The district of Anuradhapura
suffered the pa>t year, as it frequently
docs, from continuous drought of eight
months. October the inhabitants were
biddcn by bat of tom-tom to assemble
at the 30 tree and pray for rain. The
same night, apparently before the invo-
cation, the storm broke with viol Mt
wind, lightning, thunder and rain. The
man branch of the sacred tree was
severed, leaving only a stem OF four feet.
Whenever part of the Bo tree dies it
receives last rites similar to those paid to
kings and priests, the most honored OF
mankint 1t is cremated. This cere-
mony took place with full honors Octo-
Der i. Early in the morning two men
called kapuwas (cuttcrs), arrayed in
suits of black, arrived at the tree. They
covered Up their mouths with black
handkerchicfs, tying the ends at the back
of their heads, and with small cross
cut saw divided the broken branch.
Two tom-tom beaters supplied the music.
The branch was sawn into convenient
pieces and loaded in cart prepared for
the purpose with white cloth ceiling,
etc. Thus was it borne in perahera (sol-
cmn procession) to the Thuparama
Dagoba, where the cremation of the
lo2al chief priests is wont to be held.
The ashes were revercntly carried to the
tank of Ttsawcna, hard by, and there
dissolved. The remnant of the tree now
rc' eived its appropriate treatment.
Women bore water for the bathing of
the bleeding trunk, and on the following
night the Pirit service, for the exorcism
of evil spirits, was solcmuly performed
at the timc-honorcd site, where the
remaining stem, though probably I'M
slightly now. will in time flourish with
ali the vitality of the Ficus religiosa.

Novel Remedy for Rheumatism.

A lady residing on South Main street
arose from her bed last night, in response
to the appeals from her daughter, who
was suffering with rheumatic pains, to
give her a vigorous application of some
effective liniment which the family had
been in the habit of using on such occa-
sions. The fond mother rubbed her
daughters limbs and applied the remedy
without stint. The pains soon disap-
peared and the daughter slept well until
morning, when she discovered that near
ly so cents worth of cough medicine had
been wasted on her rheumatism. Her
pains returned as quickly as they had
disappeared. jacksonville (U.) Courier.

Great Peaks Still Left to Climb.

Although DR.. Meyer has succeeded in
making the ascent of Kiho, the highest
peak on the Kilima- y jaro range. there is
no occasion for any noted Alpine climber
to sit down and weep because there are
no other mountains to conquer. The
Alps, the Andes, Mt. Cook in New Zea
land and Kilima-N iaro are all giants, GER
tainly, but they are dwarfed by some of
the Thibctan mountains. Mr.. Graham

liems in Ant Hills.

"There is an original garnet mine,
and the miner as WELL" said my COM
panion, as We were riding among the
mountains of New Mexico.
Following the direction Of his glance
I saw tall, well-formed Navajo Indian
standing motionless by what appeared to
be small sand heap.
Wishing to in estigate we drew nearer,
and found that the statuesoue native was
watching one of the many ant hills that
dot the country through New Mexico
and Arizona rs we'll. AS we approached
he hardly looked up, appearing indiffer-
ent after the fashion of his race, and his
object was still an enigma, at least to
me.
The Naval tribe had never produced
a naturalist. and it was hardly possible
that he had been studving the habits OF
the active insects. Perhaps he was try
ing to collect enough for dinner-Indians
have been known to eat ants. But this
Indian was, after all, a close observer,
and was reaping his reward, for when /
asked him what he was doing he held
out a small bag, the contents of which |
turned out upon my hand-garnets,
small but good, in great numbers, bits
OF quartz that gle like diamonds,
here bit of turquoise, large quantities
of Divine and single gem, an emerald,
of but little value, but an emerald after
ALL
An ant hill was curious place from
which to take such strange assortment,
but, as my friend had suggesred, this
was the original native mine, and the
real miners were the ants. In piling up
their domc-like home they brought out
the minute gems one Ivy one and placed
them among the bits of sand. where they
cleaned and flashed as if inviting col
lection. The Indians have discovered
their value, and in this way did their
mining, allowing the ants to do all the
work and taking the gems as fast as
they were brought up.
The stones found in this way range in
size from the head of pin to large
pea, and. besi6es the one mentioned,
rubies have been taken from the heaps.
These stolen gems are sold in lots and
used in various kinds of iewelry. Nearly
every ant-hill is examined in this way
and the mounds gone over, often the
ants being watched and the gems taken
from them as soon as they are brought
up Golden Days.

Harvesting Il Sn0w.Slide.

Captain Jackson, of the Belle of the
West, has novel idea. High up in Full
Moon Gulch, in a point almost inaccessi-
BILE to animals, the Belle of the West peo-
pie have secured some timber. in mid
winter this gulch is a prolific breeder
of untamed snow-slides. The captains
plan is simply to fell the timber on the
newly fallen snow in the gulch and let
each successive side carry its burden to
the park below. Snow-slides, like light.

strnction, sure and pitiiess as fate itself,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Evil-doers try to get others to do evil;
they do not like to be alone.
Those who would be kept from harm

Most of the shadows that cross our path
through life are caused by standing in
our own light.
Better to be despised for too anxious
apprehensions, than ruined by too con-
tident a security.
Even reckoning makes lasting friends
and the way to make reckonings even is
to make them often.
The first duty of wise advocate is to
convince his opponents that he under
stands tEeir arguments and sympathizes
with thell feelings.
A good souled child is fortress ct
strength between its parents and sin.
The barest stump is beautiful when over.

Be cheerful, and seek not external
help, nor give the tranquility which
others give. A man must stand erect,
not be kept erect by others.
Good nature shows virtue in the fair

the deformity of vice, and makes even
folly and impertinence supportable.
He who longs after good precepts is
quickcned in his imagination and
strengthened in his expression. The vine
which grows in the sun is the fullest OF
